There is something I've learned after decades of coaching and teaching coaches:

Knowing what to do and being able to do it in the moment are two different things.

You can understand coaching competencies.

You can read about powerful questions.

You can study reflective listening.

You can know the ethics.

But then a real person sits across from you and says something unexpected.

That's when coaching becomes an art.

That's why I created Advanced Coaching in Action.

I wanted to create a space where coaches could bring real situations, practice real skills, receive thoughtful feedback, and discover what becomes possible when we slow down enough to really notice what is happening in the conversation.

On October 3, we'll spend five hours on Zoom doing exactly that.

If you're ready to move beyond knowing and deepen how you actually coach, I hope you'll join me.

The goal isn't to leave with more information.

It's to leave with something you'll actually use.

The final module of Advanced Coaching in Action is about integration:
✨What did you notice?
✨What changed?
✨What do you want to practice?
✨And how will you bring greater awareness and intention into your next coaching conversation?

You'll create an awareness action plan and identify the takeaways you want to carry forward.

Because professional growth doesn't happen when the course ends. It happens when the learning enters your practice.

October 3rd.
5 hours.
7 modules.
Live practice.
Mentor feedback.
Real coaching conversations.

Sometimes becoming a better coach means getting clearer about what coaching is NOT.

Are you coaching - or advising?

Coaching - or teaching?

Coaching - or counseling?

Coaching - or trying to rescue?

Knowing the difference isn't just about semantics.

It's about practicing within your scope, honoring the client, and maintaining the integrity of the coaching relationship.

In Module 6 of Advanced Coaching in Action, we'll explore these boundaries through conversation and small-group activity.

Because knowing what not to do can be just as important as knowing what to do.

You can't become a better coach by watching someone else coach.

At some point, you have to coach.

And that's exactly what we'll do.

In Module 5 of Advanced Coaching in Action, you'll participate in three short peer coaching sessions - with time to debrief and receive mentor feedback.

You'll practice.
You'll notice.
You'll get feedback.
You'll try again.
That's where learning starts becoming skill.
This isn't passive learning. It's skills-in-action.

October 3 | Online | 5 hours

If you're ready to move beyond knowing about coaching and start strengthening how you actually coach, I'd love to have you join us.

What if your next great coaching intervention isn't another question?

What if it's listening?

Really listening.

In Module 4 of Advanced Coaching in Action, we'll explore coaching reflections and then put reflective listening into practice with other coaches.

Because sometimes a client doesn't need us to move the conversation forward.

They need us to help them hear what they're already saying.

Listen differently. Coach differently.

Not every powerful question is a good coaching question.

A question can be insightful, clever, profound, and still be the wrong question for the moment.

So how do you know?

In Module 3 of Advanced Coaching in Action, we'll explore when and how to use transformative coaching questions, including what happens when a client brings a challenging situation to the conversation.

You'll see the process in action, explore real coaching situations, and have an opportunity to think differently about the questions you ask.

Because great coaching isn't about having the most impressive questions.

It's about asking the question that serves the client.

October 3.

Your client isn't the only person in the coaching conversation.

You are there, too.

Your assumptions.
Your reactions.
Your preferences.
Your desire to help.
Your own ideas about what the client "should" do.

In Module 2 of Advanced Coaching in Action, we'll explore awareness practices that support ethical client engagement.
Because self-awareness isn't just personal development for coaches.

It's part of ethical practice.

We'll explore this together - and then talk about what it looks like in real coaching relationships.

Before you coach, you have to arrive.

What does it actually mean to be fully present with a client?

In Module 1 of Advanced Coaching in Action, we explore the fundamentals of coaching presence, not just as a concept, but as something you can notice, experience, and practice.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing a coach can change isn't the question they're asking.

It's the quality of presence they're bringing to the conversation.

This is coaching in action - not coaching theory.

Join me October 3 for five hours of live practice, experiential learning, peer coaching, and mentor feedback.

What happens when you move beyond learning about coaching and actually practice it?

That's the idea behind Advanced Coaching in Action.
This isn't a lecture series. It's a live practice room where coaches bring real situations, practice coaching skills, receive feedback, and learn from experienced peers and mentors.

In one highly interactive day, we'll explore:
• Presence
• Ethical client engagement
• Transformative questions
• Coaching reflections
• Peer practice & live mentoring
• Scope of practice
• Integration & action planning

October 3 | Online | 5 hours | 5 CEC/CUs

If you're ready to bring more confidence, presence, and precision to your coaching conversations, I'd love to have you join us.
